A week ago I was cleared to jog flat trails.... a-k-a smooth dirt and not "trails with any technical parts". The PT session went well and that is in the write up in my previous post. All good news!
However... in the days after PT.. the squats, lunges... & all the stuff I struggled with in the past that I did well, made the knee sore for 2-3 days. With that I didn't do much of any PT and just backed way off. Jogged Monday(yesterday) 4 miles and it felt great. This is also the first weekend in 6 weeks that I haven't stood at a soccer tournament coaching all weekend standing for 6+ hours a day or worked security at the church for 4 hours prior to coaching. I only warmed up the keeper and relaxed the rest of the time.
After years of working my way up the ultra distance ladder I was able to run in & complete my first 100 miler at Javelina in Oct 2017. Not knowing the Western States 100 entry rules I missed the cutoff for the 2018 lottery. Going into 2018 I had built a strong base & added races with hills to start toward my goal of qualifying. Unfortunately, April 1st, I tore my PCL and meniscus requiring surgery. I created this site to track my progress and getting back From zero to 100 miles.
